== "Improved Kuake-like behavior in Openbox" section should have its own page ==

+

+

I was thinking of refactoring the urxvt page to have 'Tips and tricks' for non Perl extensions, and create a new section 'Perl extensions'. While I was thinking which should go first in the doc order I noticed that "Improved Kuake..." is like a page within a page. It adds a lot of content to what would be a compact 'Tips and tricks' section, once the Perl exts are moved out. I'm not bold enough to make this edit, what do others think? --[[User:StephenB|StephenB]] 16:37, 14 August 2010 (EDT)

== "Using urxvt with Nautilus "Open in Terminal" ==

+

+

I use Openbox but figured this information is most relevant to rxvt-unicode and so might like to be included on the wiki page. I found that the gnome-terminal package opens xterm by default. This [https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=108388 thread] in the forums provides a solution.

+

+

Install gnome-vfs and gconf-editor and edit the config using gconf-editor

+

+

pacman -S gnome-vfs gconf-editor

+

+

As normal user run:

+

+

gconf-editor

+

+

Drill down to desktop/gnome/applications/terminal/ and alter the values to:

+

+

{| border="1"

+

|exec

+

|urxvt

+

|-

+

|exec_arg

+

| -e

+

|}

+

+

I removed gnome-vfs (as its deprecated) afterward without any issues as all I needed was the keys created in gconf-editor. I suppose you might be able to manually create the key as an alternative. --[[User:James_Robertson|James_Robertson]] 14:29, 27 February 2011 (AEDT)

URxvt.colorUL changes the appearance of ALL underlined text. A better solution would be to use something like this:
